T writes that Nokia has finally designed a phone for cities all over the world where crime runs rampant.
The only downside is the risk of accidental discharge when forcefully hanging up.
"...Mom didn't really emphasize the Koran, but we read little parts of it. We did listen to morning prayers in Indonesia."
Solomon then wonders if she was "worried" about even mentioning Islam, given the false accusations against her brother. She answers, "I'm not worried. I don't want to deny Islam....At the same time, it has been erroneously attached to my brother. The man has been a Christian for 20 years."
So if Obama's been a Christian for 20 years, what was his religious affiliation prior to the conversion to Christianity? And, if Obama was a Muslim and later recanted that faith, he's technically an apostate.
If you had surfed to Little Green Footballs in February 2001, this is what you would have seen.Today, in its daily Internet operations, AT&T is shielded by a federal law that provides a powerful immunity to copyright infringement. The Bells know the law well: They wrote and pushed it through Congress in 1998, collectively spending six years and millions of dollars in lobbying fees to make sure there would be no liability for "Transitory Digital Network Communications" — content AT&T carries over the Internet. And that's why the recording industry sued Napster and Grokster, not AT&T or Verizon, when the great music wars began in the early 2000s.
Here's the kicker: To maintain that immunity, AT&T must transmit data "without selection of the material by the service provider" and "without modification of its content." Once AT&T gets in the business of picking and choosing what content travels over its network, while the law is not entirely clear, it runs a serious risk of losing its all-important immunity. An Internet provider voluntarily giving up copyright immunity is like an astronaut on the moon taking off his space suit. As the world's largest gatekeeper, AT&T would immediately become the world's largest target for copyright infringement lawsuits.
On the technical side, if I were an AT&T engineer asked to implement this plan, I would resign immediately and look for work at Verizon. AT&T's engineers are already trying to manage the feat of getting trillions of packets around the world at light speed. To begin examining those packets for illegal pictures of Britney Spears would be a nuisance, at best, and a threat to the whole Internet, at worst...
Hillary and Bill are obsessed with that Napoleonic sense of total certainty. That's how Hillary had the breath-taking gall to cobble together a centralized plan for one-seventh of the US economy, the entire health-care sector. In today's 13 trillion-dollar economy that would be almost two trillion dollars per year -- more than the Gross Domestic Product of Italy. Think of the mind-boggling presumption needed to believe that one person can dictate that much economic activity in minute detail. But Hillary was determined to dictate how many doctors would go into each specialty, how many would be assigned to rural areas and inner cities, and what racial composition would be demanded for medical school admissions. That kind of rock-hard belief in one's own divine rightness is deeply irrational.
A few nights ago, I was watching a recap of the latest Democratic debate. Frank Luntz was closing out a focus group with a bunch of undecided Democrats. Luntz asked the question: which of you would ever vote for a Republican? Only a couple out of a dozen or more raised their hands. When probed, their answers followed a few major themes:
Sometimes family issues are a stumbling block for candidates so this may sound a bit old-fashioned... But, I personally like to draw the line at mass killings...
* Bill Clinton's brother was arrested for
drunk driving and disturbing the peace.
* Hillary Clinton's brother was paid $400,000 in exchange for getting people pardoned.
* Jimmy Carter's brother was a registered foreign agent of the Libyan government and urinated in public at the Atlanta airport.But, here's a new one...
Barack Obama's cousin Raila Odinga is charged with ethnic cleansing by Kenyan officials...

Opponents of [voter ID] laws, including Democrats and the AARP, say the measures would suppress voter turnout among the elderly, poor and minorities who are less likely to have government-issued photo IDs... "It's another hurdle in the way of voters," said Neil Bradley of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Today, the Journal's John Fund highlights the Democrats' nuanced position:Democrats ignore that it was only last week they argued before the Supreme Court that an Indiana law requiring voters show ID at the polls would reduce voter turnout and disenfranchise minorities. Nevada allies of Hillary Clinton have just sued to shut down several caucus sites inside casinos along the Las Vegas Strip, potentially disenfranchising thousands of Hispanic or black shift workers who couldn't otherwise attend the 11:30 a.m. caucus this coming Saturday
D. Taylor, the president of the Culinary Workers Union that represents many casino workers, notes that legal complaint was filed just two days after his union endorsed Barack Obama. He says the state teachers union, most of whose leadership backs Mrs. Clinton, realized that the Culinary union would be able to use the casino caucuses to better exercise its clout on behalf of Mr. Obama, and used a law firm with Clinton ties to file the suit.
...Democrats will also be asking for identification at caucus sites...
More than seven million patients have been unable to see an NHS dentist for almost two years.
Most of those denied access have paid for private care instead, says Citizens Advice.
But almost three million have gone without treatment altogether, claims the charity.
The figure includes thousands of children and is much higher than Government estimates...
A computer nerd from Shepherd's Bush, West London, became al Qaeda's top internet agent... Younes Tsouli, 23, an IT student at a London college, used his top-floor flat in W12 to help Islamist extremists wage a propaganda war against the West.Under the name Irhabi 007 — combining the James Bond reference with the Arabic for terrorist — he worked with al Qaeda leaders in Iraq and came up with a way to convert often gruesome videos into a form that could be put onto the Web...
His capture led to the arrest of several Islamic terrorists around the world, including 17 men in Canada and two in the US... His 10-year jail sentence was increased to 16 years last month.
At first intelligence operatives who came across his activities dismissed him as a joke. It was only when anti-terrorist detectives began trawling through files on his computer after his arrest that they realised his true significance.
When he was seized, forensic science officers found that Tsouli had been creating a website called YOUBOMBIT.
...Tsouli arrived in London in 2001 with his father, a Moroccan diplomat. He studied IT at a college in central London and was quickly radicalised by images of the war in Iraq posted on the internet... In 2005, Tsouli became administrator for the web forum al-Ansat, used by 4,500 extremists to communicate with each other, sharing such practical information as how to make explosives and how to get to Iraq to become a suicide bomber... But the enterprise had become so huge, it began to attract the attention of cyber-trackers who monitor the internet for extremists, leading to Tsouli's arrest...
Classic line from GP: "I'm trying to remember what I did for entertainment before I ran across the Iranian regime's news outlets..."
Does this strike anyone else as a bad idea: home loans with no closing costs, no processing fees, no points and -- best of all -- no credit reports? ...someone navigated to this august journal using a Google search for "dog urinating on hillary". Don't bother clicking on the link, there's no story there. In fact, there's no story of that ilk anywhere. So you've just got to wonder about some folks. And, no, I don't have any proof that it was a Ron Paul supporter -- just a queasy hunch.
Good doggie!
Andrew Bostom at American Thinker is marshaling support for Major Stephen Coughlin, the DOD analyst fired for his politically incorrect (but seemingly accurate) views on Jihad.

* Atlas highlights Iran's latest attempts to kill Americans. I wonder how many more Americans have to die at the hands of Iran's assassins before a President gets really, really, really p***ed off.
